KZ900 Key.

Hello again, today i just recently spoke to my father about the KZ. I asked him if he still got the key for it. His response? He said he lost it. Well this puts me in a fine pickle for trying to get my KZ running. What should I do? And where can i get a Key for my Z? As you guys know, a key is essential for getting my KZ to run...Reply ASAP if you can, I am getting my 32 year old Turbo Beast on sat.

Look at the 3 digit number on the seat lock.
Or unscrew the ignition switch, the 3 digit number is there on the side as well.
It is on the steering lock also.
Should be a 760 - 780 number.
Alawys thaught that was a bad idea. Go to the dealer and buy a key, then steal a bike.
Also the late Z1's, #751 - #755 keys interchanged.
Get the Number and ask someone on this site to send you a copy from the locksmith.
Or search ebay for the numbered key.
Good luck! Simple solution.

worse comes to worse, pony up the cash and get one from johnnys vintage.......he aint cheap, but he will have one.....

I am looking at doing the same thing....

Pretty decent price if you live in the States....

-Not sure what to do about the helmet lock though....:blink:

ironpan65, thank you very much for sending me that link. i think that's way better then looking around for my key that my father lost once he parked the KZ for decades LOL. I will be ordering that soon as possible..

will this fit my 1976 KZ900LTD though?

Yes

I can cut you a key if you have the 3 digit #.
Or a Locksmith in your area may be able to.
Send me a message if I can help.

If you can pull the tumbler mechanism out of the dash, all you need is a large flat blade screwdriver to turn the switch slot located at the bottom of the ignition lock recess.Lots of people lost Z/KZ's over the years to this early model feature, I was one...

I went to my local lock smith today to get a key cut for my 76 kz900. He has keys for virtually every bike or car you can imagine. He computer cut my key from the 3-digit key code. Works perfectly.

Located in New Westminster BC Canada (greater Vancouver area).
